...The Alaskan Native and Health Promotion The Alaskan Native and Health Promotion In the United States in 2013 there were 11.2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives nation wide representing approx. 2% of the population. The state with the highest population percentage of natives was Alaska, with 134,361 accounting for 14.3% of the population (United States Census Bureau. 2013). It is this group that is going to be focused on now in this paper because of the unique issues and barriers that are found in attempting health promotion within this minority. Many different problems arise when attempting change in the region ranging from education levels, large cultural differences, geological isolation, and substance abuse. There is a strong and deep-seated lack of trust towards anyone who is not from the area because of past mistakes and abuses. In 1950 46% of all Alaskan native deaths were because of tuberculosis and other infectious diseases which were brought in by outsiders (Alaska Native Health Status Report. 2009). The medical profession to this day is still regarded as a possible threat instead of an asset especially by the older population. What level of health promotion prevention will work best to facilitate the changes needed in Alaskan Native health? The current health status of Alaska natives is well below the national average in a multitude of ways. It has improved markedly in the past couple of decades but still needs considerable attention. The Alaskan Native...

...Introduction ALASKA MILK CORPORATION is one of the leading manufacturers of milk products in the Philippines. It has established a strong brand heritage among Filipino consumers with its traditional liquid canned milk products marketed under the Alaska label. The Company has likewise established a strong presence in the powdered milk business and a growing position in the UHT ready-to-drink and ready-to-use segments. Alaska Milk Corporation began its corporate life in 1972 as Holland Milk Products, Inc. (HOMPI). HOMPI was a partnership between Holland Canned Milk B.V., a dairy company in the Netherlands, and General Milling Corp. (GMC), an agro-industrial foods company founded by Mr. Wilfred Uytengsu Sr. with interests in flour, animal feeds, soybean milling and consumer food products. In 1988, HOMPI was merged into GMC’s corporate structure and operated as a milk division. By 1994, the milk division was spun off as a separate company, now known as Alaska Milk Corporation or “AMC”. With the growth of the domestic milk market and the need to expand production capacities, AMC tapped the capital market and became a publicly listed company in the Philippine Stock Exchange in 1995. The final move in the creation of AMC came with the absorption of its exclusive distributor in 1998, providing the company with the necessary leverage to grow its core milk business. The Company has further strengthened its core business by acquiring / licensing...

..._____________________________________________________________________________________ Export/Import Advantages: * Indonesia has recently passed a law regarding exporting and importing. The newly passed law means exporting and importing of the country will adopt depending on the demand and supply of a commodity. And since Indonesia has a high demand for milk products but low in capacity to produce, it would be advantageous for Alaska Milk Corporation to export their milk products there. * Since there is low capacity in Milk production in Indonesia, there is a potential for market expansion after testing the market through exports. * According to ForeignAffairs.com, Indonesia’ economy, just like the Philippines, soared during the last half decade and is still continuously growing. They also have a strong foreign exchange and top performing stock market. * For instance Alaska Milk Corporation will have excess production, their milk products can still be sold in the international market without sacrificing its current prices. It would be a beneficial clearance of their excess production. Disadvantages: * Alaska products may need to be modified to meet the safety and security codes and other country restrictions. * Exporting to another country would take extra costs for the licensing, new promotional materials depending on the culture and market information, and other administrative costs. * Entering the export business requires careful planning when it comes...

...Native American Environmental Issues Traditionally Native Americans have had an immediate and reciprocal relationship with their natural environments. At contact, they lived in relatively small groups close to the earth. They defined themselves by the land and sacred places, and recognized a unity in their physical and spiritual universe. Their cosmologies connected them with all animate and inanimate beings. Indians moved in a sentient world, managing its bounty and diversity carefully lest they upset the spirit "bosses," who balanced and endowed that world. They acknowledged the power of Mother Earth and the mutual obligation between hunter and hunted as coequals. Indians celebrated the earth's annual rebirth and offered thanks for her first fruits. They ritually addressed and prepared the animals they killed, the agricultural fields they tended, and the vegetal and mineral materials they processed. They used song and ritual speech to modify their world, while physically transforming that landscape with fire and water, brawn and brain. They did not passively adapt, but responded in diverse ways to adjust environments to meet their cultural as well as material desires. The pace of change in Indian environments increased dramatically with Euroamerican contact. Old World pathogens and epidemic diseases, domesticated plants and livestock, the disappearance of native flora and fauna, and changing resource use patterns altered the physical and cultural landscape of the New World...

...Surname Instructor Course Date Charlie Chaplin; The Prominent comedian Introduction During the silent era, films had did not have harmonized recorded sound and also spoken dialogue. The dialogue was through use of signals, mime and title cards. There were a lot of technical problems that resulted from trying to coordinate motion pictures with recorded sound and this is why during the silent era (1894–1929) most films remained “silent” until the late 1920s when the first film was released with sound and it became the order of the day until now. The advantage of the silent films is that they provided inexpensive entertainment and also overcame the verbal barriers for immigrants who had had just migrated to America in the early 1920s. One of the most prominent film stars during the silent era was Charlie Chaplin, who was born on 16 April, 1889 in London, England as Charles Spencer Chaplin; he died on the 25th December 1977 as a result of natural reasons. He was born from a very humble family, and his parents were also involved in the entertainment industry and this is why he started of his career at the tender age.
